TOMM70
Function
Acts as a receptor of the preprotein translocase complex of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM complex) (PubMed:12526792). Recognizes and mediates the translocation of mitochondrial preproteins from the cytosol into the mitochondria in a chaperone dependent manner (PubMed:12526792, PubMed:35025629). Mediates TBK1 and IRF3 activation induced by MAVS in response to Sendai virus infection and promotes host antiviral responses during virus infection (PubMed:20628368, PubMed:25609812, PubMed:32728199). Upon Sendai virus infection, recruits HSP90AA1BAX in mitochondrion and the complex induces apoptosis (PubMed:25609812).
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the Tom70 family.
Cellular localization
- Mitochondrion outer membrane
- Single-pass membrane protein
- (Microbial infection) During parasite T.gondii-mediated infection, enriched at the interface between the host mitochondria and the parasitopharous vacuole.
